Cisco Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(33)XNE

This guide describes the implementation of the lawful intercept feature on the Cisco 10000 series router. 

Lawful intercept is a process that enables a Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) to perform electronic 
surveillance on an individual as authorized by a court order. To assist in the surveillance, the service 
provider intercepts the target’s traffic as it passes through one of their routers, and sends a copy of the 
intercepted traffic to the LEA without the target’s knowledge. 

This guide is intended for system administrators who must configure the router to support lawful 
intercept. This guide may also be useful for application developers who are developing management 
applications for use with lawful intercept.

This guide contains the following chapters:

 provides background information about lawful intercept 

and its implementation. This chapter also describes the CISCO-TAP2-MIB, which is used for lawful 
intercept. A Management Information Base (MIB) enables the router to be controlled through the 
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). 

 provides instructions for configuring the router 

to support lawful intercept.
